3,5-Dimethylphenol (meta-xylenol) is an aromatic hydroxyl-functional chemical substance identified by its named structure.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
3,5-Dimethylphenol is an important fine chemical raw material with a white needle-like crystal appearance and a phenolic smell. Its molecular formula is C9H10O, molecular weight is 122.17, melting point is 64°C, boiling point (760mmHg) is 219.5°C. It can be uniformly mixed with alcohol, aldehyde, hydrocarbon, ether and other organic media, and it is slightly soluble in water.
The full named identity, positional or stereochemical form, assay basis, impurity profile and supplied form define 3,5-Dimethylphenol (meta-xylenol). Material qualification and downstream formulation acceptance are distinct requirements; report segmentation is not a supplier specification.

Market perspective
3,5-Dimethylphenol is an important fine chemical raw material with a white needle-like crystal appearance and a phenolic smell. Its molecular formula is C9H10O, molecular weight is 122.17, melting point is 64°C, boiling point (760mmHg) is 219.5°C. It can be uniformly mixed with alcohol, aldehyde, hydrocarbon, ether and other organic media, and it is slightly soluble in water.
3, 5-xylenol is an important intermediate for organic synthesis, widely used as raw material of resin, pesticide, medicine, dye and fragrance. 3, 5-xylenol is chlorinated into 4-Chloro-3, 5-dimethylphenol (PCMX), which is one kind of high efficient disinfectant and antiseptic for detergents such as soap and liquid soap. Recently, used in the synthesis of high efficient and broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs.The top 9 manufacturers accounting for more than 90%. Among them, Europe and China are the main production regions, of which China's output in 2019 accounted for 54%.3,5-Dimethylphenol products can be extracted from the by-products of the production of m-cresol. Because the profit of extracting this product alone is too low, few companies produce in large quantities, and Jiangsu Huanxin High-tech Materials uses it as a raw material for PCMX, Enhance the value of products, can supply the market in large quantities. On the other hand, due to Rain Carbon’s large scale, mature technology, and low unit cost, its sales price is lower than that of Chinese products, which further inhibits the expansion of China’s production.Although 3,5-Dimethylphenol products are widely used downstream, they are mainly concentrated in the production of PCMX in terms of global demand. Among them, Disinfectant accounted for 83% of global consumption in 2019. We expect this trend to be maintained in the next 6 years
